Equal treatment irrespective of the sexual features you were born into? What a left-field decision in this clusterfuck of a year.
Free the nipple!
Yes ladies, now we too are free to freeze our tits off in Minnesota.
TIL Minnesota has no summer.
Minnesota Summer is more like Missouri year round
Female-presenting nipples?? Tumblr told me those were porn.
I loved the movement years ago to shop male nipples over female nipples and post the end results. I mean, letter on the law and stuff, right?
Heres another one. Getting mad at trans women for both "pretending" to ne women and also for being topless/flashing their breasts.
It's weird that a man topless is fine for pg movies, even G probably. But a woman topless shoots it right up to R. Though Titanic was PG-13. I assume it was more relaxed at the time?
It happened now and then, but it's mostly because James Cameron gets to do whatever he wants. Any rando director and it's an R rating. If PG-13 movies get to show a female-presenting nipple at all, like the Fifth Element, they will be very brief, often from the side, and may not even be in focus. They're probably not using makeup or other techniques to make the nipples stand out.
Same with Wolf of Wall Street, but on the next level up. Scorsese directs and argues against an NC-17 rating (which is considered a box office death sentence).
Hollywood is a very nepotistic industry, and the ratings system is no exception. Most of the rules for ratings aren't even written down. There are unwritten rules that even the general public figures out (like only getting one f-bomb in a PG-13 movie), but they can be cast aside when a major director or producer gets on the phone and causes a fuss.
There are quite a few PG-13 where women are topless. Boobs don't automatically get an R rating. Everything else being equal, I believe it has to be topless in a sexual context to elicit an R rating.
Men aren’t even referred to as having breasts because they’re so much smaller, but a really long time ago some people dictated that women should keep that shit covered up, ostensibly because giblets started tingling at the sight. Meanwhile, cultures exist that make no distinction between the two, and casually ask the rest of the world, “Fucking… why?”
I think this is a disingenuous take. Different cultures all have their own taboos. Is it all social constructs? Yea, sure, but that doesn't make them invalid within context. By nature they aren't logical.
They're cultural creations. They were created by human beings, and WE have the power to change them. If we want something to stop being a taboo, we can simply will it to be as such.
The taboos are pretty logical. They’ve swung back and forth over the years. For example, the Victorian era of prudishness appeared not long after the syphilis epidemic.

I see what you've done there.
Just probably don't do it in the 9 out of 12 months we used to have winter in
Pretty sure the mosquitos will get you for the remainder.
"I didn't even know nipples could shatter, but there they were: on the floor all broken"
For those concerned (or hopeful) about vast hordes of topless Minnesota women roaming the streets: They made boobs legal in Ontario in the mid 90's and I've NEVER seen any women go topless in public. I'm sure it happens, but it's extremely rare. Heck, most guys still swim in t-shirts up here.
The point of the law in Canada was to make a point that if men and women are to be equal, the law should reflect that. Of course in the US it's about sex and not equality.
The mosquitos alone are gong to keep them covered. As a man, I don't go without a shirt when outside.
Go topless or the misogynists win!
With all the crazy stuff going on in the US, sometimes some good happens too
I lived in Haiti for 3 years where the top of a woman was not considered private. Within 2 months, looking at a woman's breast was about as exciting as looking at her elbow. Weirdly, they switched back to being sexual after returning to Canada.
There is an incentive to cover them for women
When they stop becoming "private parts" they stop having the effect
This really needs to be normalized. Men can use desensitization to staring at boobs.
Plus if its hot and you need relief, let the puppies breathe.
I wonder if desensitization really works here. I'm kind of annoyed that boobs have this power over me. And in this day and age it's not hard to see them every day.
Amen.
Yeah. Topless isn't naked, and people who think otherwise are a bunch of weirdos.
Finally. Can we now, as a people, move on?
Based Minnesota
Meanwhile Texas just banned the Virginia state flag because it has a cartoon A-cup.
.) to drive ‘em wild in Texas
now if only we can end sexual segregation...
like light breaking through dark clouds. release the boobs
Boobs aren't even a turn on for me, but I say don't let this die in the courtroom, take this to the streets!
